Superman’s origin retold as a sweeping period adventure

Familiar icons such as Lois Lane and Lex Luthor gain fresh energy without losing their legendary appeal.

Description

This work features the world's most enduring superhero in a fast-paced, reimagined origin tale of the Man of Steel. Beginning in Smallville, a shooting at a theatre reveals to Clark Kent that he is bulletproof, setting him on a path to his true identity. In Metropolis, Lois Lane's former partner Willi Berg becomes entangled in a murder case and is framed; he flees to Smallville where he meets Clark. Traveling to Hollywood, Clark becomes a stuntman and, with a new costume, discovers he can fly — and Superman makes a dramatic debut in a rescue. Arriving in New York, Willi and Clark meet Lois, who questions Willi's tale of a 'Superman'. Clark tries to get hired at the Daily Planet and uncovers evidence that could clear Willi. Lex Luthor, now a rising politician, has begun constructing LexBots, marketed as the must-have item of the year. But a LexBot goes rogue, and Superman must confront his greatest nemesis for the first time.
